Title: Weird Chemical as a Weapon?
Post by: ChemicalVengence on November 16, 2008, 02:41:29 am
Here's a suggestion about the weird chemical, since at this point it's a nearly useless item in the game that doesn't even sell for much. Why not make it be able to be used with the syringe as a weapon supplement? Perhaps like a bio weapon that could have various effects in conservatives it hits like making them fall over asleep or freak out and attack nearby conservatives or have an additional damage boost. If we were to use this idea, I think it would be pretty cool if we could do something similar with bullets, much like how the SLA used hollow point bullets filled with cyanide. Watcha think?

Erm, you forgot to tell them about the Science skill being used to identify which Weird Chemical did what, mang. I was also thinking of some of the effects you can inflict being positive, like steroids and other body enhancers, and the ability to use them on your squad Liberals.

And, of course, some of those Weird Chemicals could just end up being some sugar water or have the same effect as it :P

The cyanide bullets sound like a good idea, though.

It'd be cool if the Weird Chemical could simply be used like the molotov coctails, except desolving stuff instead of setting stuff on fire.

That would be interesting. There could be some random components to its effect: It could mutate them into a fire bunny or something, it could melt their clothes off, it could turn out to be dirty water and do nothing at all. ;D

Yeah, most labs keep several mysterious looking vials of water with dye in them around purely for the effect.

If people kept running in and stealing your vials you would.

Well that and you use vial of waters as your "Control" to compare to the real deal.

As for possible effects... Ill have to write some up later... Ill go for 50.

they should have cynanide or some toher poison that works at the same second so you wont go in a fire fight and make noise when you want to get in and out unnoticed.
